Grim: Don’t worry, I’m well on my way to 2 80 Paladins as well as 2 80 hunters I’ve got an 80 of each already, and a 40+ of each as well. So I know where you’re coming from! And an all-druid group would be pretty fun too!

Myst: You’re right, and I try not to judge people who are new to the game. Sure, I have a little giggle and think “I remember when I was that naive about this game!” but I would never punish them or call them out for being new and trying to learn. And to be honest, I have WAY more issues with people who think “they know better” because they aren’t new to the game. The new players generally don’t mind listening and learning, I’d play with a new player over a cocky experienced one any day!

Everyone has to start somewhere:) With the X-million people who play WoW, why would you be surprised that many of them might be new to the game? I’ve only been playing since May of last year, and my boyfriend tells me playing with me has made him realize how easy it is to forget what it’s like to be new. He now goes out of his way to help people who seem to be noobs rather than assuming they should know what they’re doing, especially at lower levels.

Even though I hit 80 on my hunter in October and he keeps telling me I’m a damn good player, I’m still terrified of running instances without my bf. I’m just so afraid of making a mistake and being kicked or ridiculed.

The rogue, though…yeah, we’ve run into a few of those… “I can do it! I can do it!” WIPE!

Gnomeregan…twelve times? I’m so, so sorry.

Your little pally power group is great, though. And, if it makes you feel any better… at least half of the facepalm inducing people I meet are warlocks, hunters don’t have the market cornered!
Vidyala´s last blog ..SM: Did you know it can also mean ’sadism’ and ‘masochism’?

I came close to the “all-paladin” group with a random on my now 79 (then 78) paladin. It was 4 paladins and a hunter. Buffing was fun – I called ‘dibs’ on Kings, and let the rest of them figure out who was doing what.

I’ve yet to get anything more than two druids in a group though, on either of my two druids.

…yes, I really do have two druids.

And they’re both 80, too.

Yes, I know I have too much time on my hands.

It’s true, I don’t really think he’s stupid just not knowledgeable. Still, it was a bit frightening to walk into my first dungeon and hear that – if he doesn’t know the difference between a pet and a mount, what are the chances he knows how not to pull aggro? *shrug*

The Hunter pet/mount thing could possibly be an honest mistake rather than just stupid.

It is quite common to see folks riding around on cats, and it’s easy to get a cat as a first pet.

Funny experiences. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and double points for using “expatiating”.
